When caring for a loved one, seemingly simple tasks like scheduling appointments, arranging transportation, and organizing paperwork can feel suddenly overwhelming.
An advocate can make the calls, manage appointments, and keep records organized so you can focus on what matters most: spending quality time with your loved one.
Alzheimer’s care is complicated. Unlike many other diseases, treating Alzheimer’s disease means juggling physical disabilities, cognitive decline, and the need to maintain a safe living space.
An experienced care advocate can serve as your central point-of-contact, helping you overcome each of these challenges as they arise. They’ll keep doctors coordinated, find the best medical equipment, and even connect you to local Alzheimer’s support groups.
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease can be exhausting, and it’s important to take care of yourself. It’s not their fault, but patients with Alzheimer’s can be irrationally angry, intensely anxious, and even aggressive. Managing these severe mood swings can be emotionally draining, often leading to resentment and burnout.
Having someone to talk to, someone who really gets it, can make all the difference. Your Solace advocate understands what you’re going through and will be there to listen when you need them most. They can be a shoulder to lean on when times get hard, and a voice of reason when nothing seems to make sense.

With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
Alzheimer's disease means your loved one needs care from multiple doctors—neurologists, geriatricians, psychiatrists, and memory care specialists. These doctors often work in different locations and don't talk to each other. A Solace Alzheimer's advocate becomes your central point of contact. They make sure every doctor knows what's happening with your loved one's memory, medications, and behavior.
Your advocate keeps all medical records in one place. They track how the disease is progressing, what treatments are working, and what your loved one needs. They schedule appointments at times that won't overwhelm or confuse your family member. This way, every doctor has the full picture and can make better decisions together. Instead of dealing with scattered care from different offices, you get one organized treatment plan.
As Alzheimer's progresses, your loved one's needs change. You might need different types of care over time. But figuring out when to make these changes—and what options exist—can feel overwhelming. Solace advocates help you plan ahead instead of waiting for a crisis.
Your advocate researches memory care options in your area. This includes specialized home care, adult day programs, and memory care facilities. They explain how each type of care works and what makes them different. Your advocate also helps you spot the signs that it might be time for a care change. This protects your loved one's safety and prevents family caregivers from burning out. With this support, you can make thoughtful decisions that respect your family member's dignity while taking care of your family's needs.
Alzheimer's changes the way people communicate. Your loved one might not remember recent conversations or understand things the same way they used to. This creates frustration for everyone. A Solace advocate helps you learn new ways to connect with your family member.
Your advocate teaches you specific techniques that work with your loved one's current abilities. These methods include validation therapy (accepting their reality instead of correcting them), reminiscence (talking about meaningful memories), and sensory activities (using touch, music, or familiar objects). They help you understand what's happening in your loved one's brain and why communication has become harder. This knowledge helps you adjust your expectations and reduce frustration. Instead of distressing conversations, you can find moments of real connection even as memory fades.
Alzheimer's is a long journey. The ongoing grief and stress of caregiving can overwhelm family members without the right support. Solace advocates help you build the emotional and practical resources you need to stay strong.
Your advocate connects you with Alzheimer's support groups where you can talk to others who understand what you're going through. They help you find healthy ways to manage stress and arrange for respite care—breaks that give you time to recharge. This support recognizes that Alzheimer's affects the whole family, not just the person with the disease. With these resources, you can take care of yourself while providing compassionate care for your loved one.
